Hi. Got these little cases. Not usually my thing. As I’m only into German cases. But they’ll look good in mantle piece. But can anyone shed some light on the markings please?

Must have looked too easy for others to answer. First one is 2Pr Vickers Navy AA case stamped for use as sub-cal Low-Angle practice in 4" & 4.7" guns by Vickers Armstrong.
Second is the normal AA round by Royal Laboratories 1936.
 
The lower case (RL) has been repaired by RNAD Bull Point - BP within a rectangle.

some while ago there were posts on the LA and HA variants of the 2pr case, might be worth a search.
